St. Francis Merlot Reserve Nunn's Canyon Vineyard 1998

Sonoma Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesFabulous black cherry, violets, plum jam, fruit cake and smoky spicy nose. Huge intensity of flavour here with cherry plummy spicy fruit and a smoky vanilla finish. Very big tannins dry out the finish at this point and it will need a minimum five years to settle down. One for the cellar.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
